Talk:Heroes of Might and Magic II

Online

Does this game still allow online gameplay? I get error signals every time I try to access it from the game menu, unless it is a problem with my computer instead.--Martin925 03:28, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

It does allow online play, but bear in mind the age of this game. AFAIK you can only do it by conencting directly to some via their IP. Try searching for some HOMM2 fan sites, they tend to have a section on their forums for organizing online games. The Kinslayer 10:17, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

this game is fantastic...i would readily play sometime, leave me a message to coordinate. You can also try the tournament of honor (TOH) which is the biggest HoMM league in the web Dragonlord kfb 03:00, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

I also loved the game in 1997-2000. Could anyone, please, sujest a website, where I can download music of the game (midi or opera)?--Umnik (talk) 19:25, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

If you own the game, then all the music tracks are right on the CD in redbook audio. Any CD-ripping program (like Windows Media Player) can get them for you easily; just ignore the first "track," which is only data. SnowFire (talk) 18:10, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

No I have not--Umnik (talk) 16:18, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Gameboy Color

Why is the Gameboy Color version not here. It does not have the subtitle but I don't see its article anywhere. There I am almost positive that there were more Gameboy Color sequals in III or IV.

GBC versions can now be found at Heroes of Might and Magic (Game Boy Color). Ham Pastrami (talk) 04:42, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Merge

I am proposing a merge of the expansion stub article into the main game article, as part of a series-wide cleanup and organization effort. Once the merge is performed, the title will also be truncated to Heroes of Might and Magic II to reflect its more general scope. Ham Pastrami (talk) 04:41, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Since there were no objections, the merge has been performed. Ham Pastrami (talk) 07:06, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Succession Wars and Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Price of Loyalty are 2 different media. Each has its own particular features and they are not compatible with one and another 100% (ie, you can no play HOMM2 POL maps on HOMM2).

Every other wikipedia game article has the article for the original game and new independent articles for each add on/expansion, describing the new features and changes. it should remain that way. besides, 6 day notice is hardly a request for voting. im well aware of your recent damages and if i find i way, ill have a talk with someone able to stop it...

i vote no.

No, not every other game article works that way. Even if that were true, which it isn't, WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS is not justification to keep doing it. In any case, you have no sources for all the additional stuff you added, most of which was trivia anyhow and much of it POV. I merged the content after 6 days since nobody commented. If there was an ongoing discussion, more time would have been given. And at any rate, your comment is the first in nearly a year. That is certainly ample time for objections to have been raised. Since my changes were in the interests of meeting policies such as WP:V and WP:NPOV, you are more than welcome to seek out comments from administrators and the Wikipedia community regarding these changes. Ham Pastrami (talk) 02:56, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

It strikes me as odd that someone would delete/merge a number of expansion pack articles while holding WP:V in the air as a rationale, and then go on to make a new article covering the Heroes I and II ports for the Gameboy which have next to zero coverage. 86.44.205.229 (talk) 20:14, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Game TITLE

Also, the game OFFICIAL title is Heroes of Might and Magic II, not Heroes II or Heroes 2 or even HOMM.

The same should be noted for the other Heroes games.

It should not be shortened as it causes confusion (Heroes TV series and games, City of Heroes, Company of Heroes, Battlefield Heroes, Marvel Super Heroes, Class of Heroes, No More Heroes, Heroes of Mythology, Hero's Journey, Heroes (xbox360/ps3 canceled game), Hero Tales, Guitar Hero, Heroes of the Pacific, and many other games that contain the word Hero or Heroes), and always be referred to the full title, other than a few notes on page which can provide fan abbreviations/also known as tags.

So i ask you nicely to revert those changes you made or let others do it for you... —Preceding unsigned comment added by LPCA (talk • contribs) 20:40, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

The article is titled Heroes of Might and Magic II. "Heroes" is a reasonable abbreviation to use for repeating references in the body of the article, given that the article is about the game and "Heroes" is a common abbreviation for games in the series. There is no reasonable expectation that this will be confused with any of the other games that you mentioned, which have no relation to the subject of this article.

2002 release? - Yura87 (talk) 13:47, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

2002 release (Was it Gold, or some other re-release?) included the "CD" soundtrack (both vocal and non-vocal) as .OGG As I can remember, it came on one CD with an enhanced HoMM1 for Windows (at least in the Russian release by Buka). I'd like more info on that release. Also, apparently, the OGGs from that release can be used by FHeroes2 (the free engine, currently not supporting campaigns).

Composers

According to Paul Romero himself (scroll down the comments, there aren't many of them), "I am the composer, Rob King is the producer, Steve Baca was an assistant to Rob King but composed a couple guitar segments." AntiqueReader (talk) 16:41, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
